First of all I have a couple of interviews planned withAllyawan, Gatutalang, Sick Art (With Another Known Rapper),Kaanquest, DJ Levis and others.

Then as a very few of you know, I also work as a DJ anda very good friend of mine called ENC.Has chosen me to be his official DJ and I will be travelingwith him through some parts of Europe on his tour.

And we will also be performing here in Sweden aswarm up for the group Crossfire.

This summer I will also start a proyect that I´ve binplanning for 5 years.I will make a documentary on the art of graffiti.And how the main media tries to trash talk it by categorizingit together with regular wall drawings.This will be filmed during my travel through Europe andI will be interviewing known people from the HipHopcommunity in theyr countries.On what theyr opinion of this is.

Also before I start my journey in July I will arrange one bigevent that for now will remain secret.But let me tell you this ... It will be FREE and it will be out doors

Interview With Gatutalang @ Mariaplan!

Look at this interview that the boys over at Mariaplan didwith my boy Gatutalang!Now if you ask me as a journalist I do not like this interview.Because it isn´t really a interview, they are just asking randomquestions and not going into detail in Gatutalang as an artist that much.But still for the regular viewer it might do ok.

Anyways I´ve bin planning on making a new interview with Gatutalangand both his boys Bob Village and Nato.But this time go more into detail in who they are both as people and artists.And not record it through bambuser but with my HD cam and record thesound with my H2 Recording Microphone in a more relaxed enviroment.

Tips and Tricks!

OK, so what I´ve noticed is that there are a lot of free programsto download for PC´s but people that have MAC´s have a littlemore difficult to find programs for theyr cumputers.Since I use a Mac I had to look hard before I found programs thatcould work well for me, so here I´m giving you some tips.

Music/Video Downloads:

This program actually works for both Mac´s and PC´s.What you can do with this program is download both Video´sand even extract the audio by applying a URL link from YouTube.You can even use it to convert videos/audios to other formatsand change the size of the image.

To download this program just klick on the logo above!

Live Cam Streaming FX:

If you stream videos live with for example Bambuser or Stickam,this is a great option to add effects and texts to the video.One bad thing is that if you have an older version thanMac OS X 10.4 the latest version of CamTwist wont work onyour computer.All you have to do is search for a little older version of the programand it will work perfectly with your Mac.

New Music - Kaninen "Vad Har Jag Gjort För Fel"

"Kaninen" has recently released a song called Vad Har Jag Gjort För Fel.And if you ask me it is a pretty cool song because I think that everybodyhas or will feel like this.At least some of the things he mentions.

Busy Weekend!

Today I was supposed to release the Sick Art interview but therewas just too many things to do this weekend.But I did have time to get some new stuff!

This is the new Tripod I bought, so happy.

I hate spending money on clothes but these where defnitely worth it.And they where cheap, the blue one cost 99kr and the black cost 39kr@ NewYorker in Frölunda, Gothenburg City!I recomend that store for all who whant to buy good looking clothes for cheap.

Anyways I have to edit the interview now so I hope you all have a great Mothers Day!

New Tripod + Looking for Camera Man/Woman

Today I bought a new tripod because im tired of my videos lookingbad because of my unsteady hands.Although my camera isn´t as big or expensive as the one in the picture.

This summer I am starting a new proyect and I am looking for peoplethat whant to volunteer as camera men/women.

There is no money involved in this, just the will to enhance the truthabout HipHop culture in Gothenburg.If you are interested and whant to be a part of this, you can e-mailme for more info at: swaglikethis@hotmail.com

Since we will be going sometimes to clubs and may be out workingat any hour of the day you have to be 18 years or more and live inthe Gothenburg area.

Meeting With Artimez

Im meeting up with artimez in a couple of hours to interview him.My mind is blanc as usual and I can´t think of any questions to make,but I usualy come up with stuff right on the spot.If you whant to make your questions to him you can do so by e-mailingme at: swaglikethis@hotmail.com

Did I Forget to Tell You?

I forgot to add one artist to the list of interviews that I havemade through the past years.It is one of my idols untill this day and it is no one else thanAdvance Patrols very own DJ Lucutz.I´ve had a good contact with him since I interviewed him and eventalked about bringing him to Gothenburg for some events.But there has always bin something in my way.

Artimez who I am going to interview tomorrow asked me last Sundaywho my favorite DJ´s where since I told him that I am also a DJ.The only name that popped up in my head was DJ Skee,but now thinking about it DJ Skee is only the newest one in the line.My role models as a DJ are mostely Lucutz and another DJ fromEngland called DJ Angelo.

For you who whant to learn basic scratching and maby become DJ´s,Angelo has some great tutorials that explain everything you need toknow in detail. He tells you everything from what the different scratchesare called to practical tips like how to arrange your record needles.

Interviews - Parham (9 Minutes Uncut)

I know that some of you don´t know who he is.Some others have asked me non stop when the interview will be up.And now here it is ladys and gentlemen, The Parham P Interviewwith 9 minutes of uncut video footage!

I know I said that it would be on Vimeo but FUCK VIMEO for making me payto get this video ahead in line for uploading and then still making you guyswait for more than 3 hours!The quality in youtube might not be as good but at least it uploads fast.

News - The Parham Interview Releases Tonight!

Thats Right!I´m releasing the interview tonight.

So be sure to keep yourself updated for the almost 10 minute longuncut version of my interview with Parham.Since the youtube quality sucks I am going to upload the videothrough vimeo because the real quality is a lot better then what yousaw on the teaser I released.

Good HipHop?

So I was checking out the DuVetInte blog to see whats newin the Stockholm area when I notices that Melika has putmy link in the "Good HipHop" square.

Considering that there are names like Ametist Azordegan in it.I consider it like a big compliment coming from one of SwedishHipHop´s biggest blogers right now.

She wrote to me yesterday in Facebook and told me that she noticedthe intro that I used in the Parham interview teaser.I told her that it was inspired from her own intro.Melika is a big inspiration to me and I consider her a good friend,maby even as my mentor in some ways.

News - Upcoming Interview "Sick Art"

I talked to Artimez yesterday and we agreed on a time an place for an interview.It will be fun to see what he has to say because I haven´t seen any realinterview made with him where he gets to explain his thoughts and opinions.But first I have to finish the interview with Parham before I can release this one.

We decided that this interview also would be recorded and not Live.so if you whant to make your questions to him you will have to sen them to my e-mail.

News - Ice Cube "New Album Coming Up"

A Living Martyr of HipHop - DuVetInte

Many greetings have bin sent, many thoughts have bin floating.The thing with me and hospitals is that I just can´t take it.It´s heartbreaking for me to see a person that was standing strongand proud the last time I saw him/her, lying on a hospital bed.I didn´t visit my mother when she had cancer, I didn´t visit my fatherwhen he had kidney stones.I didn´t visit my brother when he was in the hospital.And I proberbly wont take any visits the day I will lay there.

Melika I´m really happy for your recovery!And I know that there is still some hard work to go through.I hope you didn´t take my silence as a sign of unimportance,but if you see things from my side it is a sign of respect for you.

I can´t accept in my mind you being ill, that Melika doesn´t existin my eyes.The only Melika I´ve known is the Proud and down to earth kind.

A Day With Parham P + Sick Art

As I told you eralier today I went down town to meet upp with Parham.What I didn´t count with was him inviting me to hang out with himafter the interview.I got to see what kind of person he really was, although I already hadmy conclusions from before, I found myself to be right.We later met up with Artimez (Sick Art) from Killa Clowns wich waseven more unexpected in my plans of today.For you who don´t know Artimez is only 14 years old and is one of thesickest rappers already, roaming the streets of Gothenburg City.I was planning on "killing two birds with a stone" and ask him som questions.But it ended up with him asking me a lot of questions about the blogand my opinion on diferent artists.It´s fun to have the tables turned for once.The interview will be up really soon and even before that I am going toupload a small teaser.I might do that later today.

Anyways, here is a Music Video including Artemiz wich was made by theEneles boys whom I also met today.Yeah! Making connections.

It´s a Lovely Day!

The sun is shining and and in two hours I´m going to meetParham to make an interview with him downtown.I´ve done several interviews with both big names and unknown,but I´ve never prepared what I am going to ask them.I´ve always improvised, but today I´m actually nervous tomake a misstake.But it was a good idea not making the interview Live.Well I hope that you take advantage of this beautyful weatherand take a walk in the sun, at least here in Gothenburg City.

News - Interview With Parham Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is the Big Day my people!Unfortunately Its going to be a regular interview and not a "Street Talk"segment where we would usually go LIVE!But you can still make your questions by mailing them to:

swaglikethis@hotmail.com

I will try to put up the interview as soon as possible for all of you to see.It´s still going to be a video interview, it´s just not going to be LIVE.

Well here below I´m leaving you with a little parody I did todayto celebrate that my daughter got baptised today. Enjoy!
